Raleigh, June 6.—The North Caro
lina Plan is still very much alive, as
is North Carolina, Incorporated, the
corporation formed more than a year
ago to put the plan in operation, ac
cording to Tyre C. Taylor, president
of the corporation and instigator of
the movement to renew the interest of
North Carolinians in North Carolina
:an dto attract additional people and
industries to the State. During the
past year, because of business condi
tions, it was thought best not to try
to go ahead with, the plan but to
await a definite upturn in the econo
mic index. This “upturn has now de
finitely started. As a result, it has
been decided to get the North Caro
lina plan started with several of its
primary projects definitely launched
early this fall, Taylor said today.
In fact, a good many members of
the board of directors of North Caro
lina, Incorporated, have believed for
several weeks that the time was at
hand to get the corporation function
ing again and urged President Tay
lor to \ call a meeting of the board
(right now. As a result, a meeting
was called for Thursday of this week
-here in Raleigh. Butt it was later
found -that many of The board mem
bers were out of the State or could
not attend. Others fel it would be
a wiser course "to delay the meeting
until after the adjournment of Con
gress and especially until after Con
gress had disposed of the industrial
control bill, now before it. This, bill
may have a widespread effect upon
business and industry in every part
of the country and the indutrial lead
ers in the State are anxious t 0 see
what the bill will finally contain be
fore they make any new moves of
any kind. Consequently it was decid
ed to postpone the meeting of the
board until sometime this fall when
it is believed business conditions will
he still better.
One of the first things North Caro
lina Incorporated, hopes to do, it i s
understood, is to raise a fund of about
750,000 to spend in advertising North
Carolina in an effort to attract new
residents, new industries and busi
nesses to *hs State. P is also plan
ned to spend Fart of this fund in an
effort to educate the people of the

BY J. C. BASKERVILL.
Raleigh, June 6. —Frightened by
stories of the dense forests filled with
“varments’ in which the forest con
servation camps were to be located,
few Negroes have volunteered for the
Civilian Conservation Corps camps,
and many of those sent to enlist by
county welfare officers have sought to
iget out of it, Ronald B. Wilson, act
ing director of the Governor’s Office
of Relief said today. Many of the
Negroes had also been told that they
were not being enlisted for work in
the forests at all, but that the Gov
ernment was just telling them this to
get them in, and that they would
then be sent on into the army and
shipped away to fight somewhere.
“There is no doubt that many of
the Negroes did not like the prospect
of being sent into dense forests, away
from their home sections, and that
they 7 preferred to remain unemployed
in their home communities rather
than face the prospect of living in
forests with their food, clothing and.

Rison, Ark., June 6.—(AP)—A band
of between five and seven heavily
armed men, who Sheriff Roy Mossison
said he believed were fleeing Kansas
convicts, were thwarted in an attempt
to loot this town after an early early
morning kidnaping of the night
waitchman.
Lights wer eturned on and an arm
ed guard of citizens patrolled the
streets after the alarm was given that
Deputy Sheriff W. A. Fore, night
watchman, J. R. Perkins and Sam
Rogers, a Negro, had been kidnapped
by three men from in front of Harry
Thomasson’s merchandise store about
1 a. m.
Thomasson, awakened by Perkins
and Rogers who had come to deliver
a load or hay, witnessed the kipnap
ing of the men when he got up to
.meet Perkins and heard them tell
Fore that they would return and
“loot five or six store.” Their car
bore an Oklahoma license plate.
Thomasson immediately notified
Sheriff Morrison, who ordered the
town Is lights turned on and assembled
a citizen patrol.
Fore, Ferkins and the Negro were
released two hours later when the
gang, traveling in two automobiles,
spotted a car load of officers. The
officers picked up Fore and his com
panions and gave chase but were out

Raleigh, June 6. —The general typ

said today. Ihe few bad spots that
existed in several JlocaMtffcß' for a

all sources of infection removed with
the result that theer is nothing now
to indicate any likelihood of a typ

the cases now being reported are
sporadic cases not traceable to any
particular source.

every one to be more careful than

and $1 a day in pay,” Wilson said.
“Many admit they have been told
that these forests are filled with wild
animals and “varments” and that they
had no desire to sleep in nothing but
tents out in these forests, way up in
the mountains.”
In several counties, Negroes slated
for these camps have found various
tnethods of getting out of going to the
camps. Wplson said. Out of eleven
Negroes selected by the welfare of
ficer in Person county to enlist in
thees camps, three got married be
fore the enlistment date in order to
disqualify themselves, the welfare of
ficer reported. In another county one
colored boy that had been selected for
one of these camps deliberately com
mitteed a petty crim ein order to get
arrested and put in jail, so he would
not have to go to one of these camps.
There have been some Negroes, of
course who have enlisted voluntarily,
'and these are making some of the
best records and best workers in the
camps, Wilson said. But out of the
total of 5,500 men that will be en
listed, less than 1,000 will be Negroes,
Wilson said.

it was indicated today from sources
